Staying cool and comfortable during the scorching summer is essential! Here are 5 tips to help you beat the heat:
1. **Hydrate Smartly**: Keep a water bottle handy at all times, and include hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water in your diet.
2. **Dress Light**: Wear loose, light-colored cotton clothing that allows your skin to breathe and helps reflect sunlight.
3. **Shield Yourself**: Protect yourself from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and using accessories like sunglasses, hats, and umbrellas.
4. **Time Your Outdoor Activities**: Avoid stepping out during peak heat hours (11 AM to 4 PM) if possible. Early mornings or evenings are cooler and more pleasant.
5. **Cool Your Surroundings**: Use curtains or blinds to block the sun, place a bowl of ice in front of a fan for an instant cooling hack, and keep houseplants for a fresher ambiance.
